Dear Mr. Wallace

Very many thanks [for] the nice plants of that capital Eucalyptus. I shall try it as a pillar, on a [post] & elsewhere. Your stocky blue one looks certainly better than the Sosen[?] one.

I always wonder why there is not that <growth with?> periwinkles — it seems as if it ought to [2] exist.

I am growing a quantity of the newer Snapdragons this year & the better colour of the China Asters. I used to dislike the old China Asters with their raw pinks & purples & stiff shapes — now, [1 word illeg.] & ostrich plumes in white and lavender colours & soft pinks are lovely & the so called scarlets & those good [1 word illeg.] big ones Vick's White & the single purple [3] are all first rate garden plants.

I have plenty of Rubus nutkanus thank you, it is capital at the edge of a wood & so is the taller R. odsatus[?].

Yours sincerely
